About

I’m a game designer with 9+ years of experience creating engaging gameplay experiences across PC, console, mobile, and VR. I’ve worked on core systems like player progression, level flow, and the core gameplay loop—using Unreal Engine Blueprints to prototype quickly, iterate based on feedback, and ship polished features.
I enjoy collaborating cross-functionally with programmers, artists, and designers to turn ideas into playable mechanics. From leading game design efforts and gameplay system documentation to managing the full development lifecycle for solo projects, I’m passionate about thoughtful design, real-time optimization, and building player-focused experiences that feel cohesive and fun.
